Bubblox by gijs.de.zwart-1

Bubblox

Its seems like a simple idea, just make a lego like system and be done with it. But, due to its forms and the freedom to develop new shapes, you have to interact with it in a different way and this forces you into other creative paths. The fact that this could work for anyone and in so many ways makes this design very interesting and eventually very unique.
Simple but with huge scope. The designer mentions in the comments that structures are easy to destroy, which makes it perfect for teaching some simple physics/engineering/design principles also ability to introduce new bespoke pieces could add 'levels' to gameplay.

Ultimaker car toy by bart_1989-1

Ultimaker car toy

Our office is divided on the feasibility of 3D printing some parts like the suspension, but we would like to try it out (with some help from the designer).
'You wouldn't download a car... Now you can.' Absolutely stunning display of creativity and engineering skills. This shows also how limited print volume can create larger objects.
For sheer ambition, this one gets some kudos.
